12:00am | Mai HiME Anime, Volume 3 | | | Thanks awfully to Ted for his sponsorship of today's review! As always, it is greatly appreciated!So there I was, all ready to wallow in what I felt was a well-deserved bout of Schadenfraude, so I popped Mai HiMe, Volume 3 into the player. Well, pfft on me, because this volume was primarily fluff | | |
12:00am | Mahou Shoujotai - Little different mahou shoujo, but still good | | | Mahou Shoujotai is one of those unlucky shows that I watched with several pauses. Fansubbing wasn't fast begin with and somewhere along the way I simple forgot the whole anime. Then when I at last remembered it after few episodes I decided to wait dvd encodesIt goes without saying that I already... | | |
12:00am | Mahou Sensei Negima! Fap OVA | | | The MSN Spring OVA made me do the above. Twice.Finally, we get a version of Akamatsu's work worthy for my eyes. This entry had great animation, some service, some "aww so sweet" *sniff* moments, and most importantly: it was actually entertaining and funâ€"unlike the depressing, |
12:00am | Mahou Sensei Negima Manga, Volumes 1-5 | | | Today's entry is a guest review! Written by Sean Gaffney, none of the opinions in this review are mine *at all*. I have asked Sean to review Mahou Sensei Negima for you, because I utterly loathe all of Ken Akamatsu's work with a firey passion. Love Hina so enraged me that I am incapable of even |
12:00am | Mahou Sensei Negima (manga) sorta-news! | | | News stolen from AICN anime section stolen from Comipress and direct to you!Ken Akamatsu's Mahou Sensei Negima! Part 1 (First Semester) ended in the latest issue of Weekly Shonen Magazine. According to Ken Akamatsu's online dairy (2/27 entry), Part 2 (Summer Break) will begin within a few weeks... | | |
12:00am | Mahoraba ~Heartful Days~ - 06 | | | I love Tama-chan.I'm not alone, either. Everyone loves Evil Tomoyo - or at least everyone who loves casual cruelty, which, it's long been clear, is a large portion of the US anime fanbase.And I love how she's appointed herself both guide to and guardian of Those Things Ryushi Was Not Meant To Know.... | | |
12:00am | Mahoraba ~Heartful Days~ - 05 | | | A lot of the theories I've been throwing around about Mahoraba so far have centered around the idea of Narutakisou as refuge - the island of traditional tranquility in the middle of bustling Tokyo. There's a lot to argue for that even in this episode, e.g. the trials of grocery-shopping, and the comparison... | | |
12:00am | Mahoraba ~Heartful Days~ - 04 | | | It looks like everyone - in the show, and on the web - is well and truly terrified of Tamami. Yes, me too - this episode added the Medusa Gaze Attack (cr. Satoshi) to the already ominous blackmail tendencies. But I think there's a problem developing.It's now been pretty clearly established that Kozue... | | |
12:00am | Maguro! | | | Maguro is:1) Japanese for tuna2) The name of an upcoming J-Drama about life on a fishing boat3) All of the above.The correct answer is - 3.Some other TV comments. Couple of nights ago was one of those brilliant variety shows where they make stars do stupid crap. It was a "hidden talent show." |
12:00am | Magic Knight Rayearth English Openings | | | Came across these on YouTube a while back and was so happy with the find. They're the two opening credits for the CLAMP anime, Magic Knight Rayearth in English!The singer does an excellent job with both songs and it's well worth checking out if you haven't seen these clips before.Like this site?

12:00am | Lucky Star 6 - Nothing funny to say. Blog entry desu. | | | What is there to say? I'm hooked.The anime parodies seem to have reached a stable amount - as opposed to earlier where they threw in Kanon, Shuffle, Haruhi, and god knows what else that flew over my head, now there's one or two big ones and a bunch of side references.As has probably been said | | |
12:00am | Lucky Star 5 - Depleted vinegar | | | It finally happened.The characters in Lucky Star are finally becoming appealing at a deeper level than "Look, I said Miyuki's moe, so she is. Plus, glasses!".OK, that's a bit of a lie. Deeper level != Lucky Star.But I can finally see where the Tsukasa fanpeoples are coming from.Hit the jump for | | |
12:00am | Lucky Star 3 (vaguely)- Cherrrrrrrrrry pieeeeeeeeee | | | Yup, it's official Lucky Star Post(tm) time. Like many others I found myself attracted to this series by the alluring Kyoto Animation label. While about five lightyears off course from the previous Haruhi and Key works that I'd come to love KyoAni for, a light-hearted anime seemed like a good | | |
12:00am | Lucky Star -- seiyuu names and faces | | | When KyoAni decided to animate LS, it would have been expensive or impossible to hire the all-star cast of the drama CD (Koshimizu Ami, Nakahara Mai, Shimizu Ai, Asano Masumi, Matsuki Miyu, Noto Mamiko, Tamura Yukari, Saitou Chiwa). So they went with Hirano Aya and relative unknowns. In my opinion, | | |
12:00am | Lucky Star -- interview with Endou Aya (Miyuki's VA) | | | There's an interview with Miyuki's VA Endou Aya 遠藤綾 on the Lucky Star official site.The most interesting comment for me was about Konata, comparing her to eating dried squid: "The more you chew on her the more her flavor comes out." I also enjoyed Endou's comments about how | | |
